Byakuran tells the Vongola that for the upcoming fight, they have to bring their non-Vongola friends. They agree to take all of them with the exception of the weakened Lal, who, despite protesting, is still not brought along. On the day of the fight, both Mafia Famiglias compete in a game called Choice in which the selected fighters have to defeat the opponent's main target to win the game. For the Vongola, the participants are Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto, while the non-guardian participants are Spanner and Shoichi, the latter being Millefiore's target. The Millefiore's participants are Kikyo, Saru (actually a disguised Genkishi), Torikabuto, and Daisy, the latter being the Vongola's target. When it starts, Tsuna confronts Mist Funeral Wreath Torikabuto and is able to overpower him with his Vongola Box Weapon. Yamamoto is attacked by Genkishi, who is disguised as one of Torikabuto's subordinates, Saru. However, Genkishi is unable to defeat Yamamoto who has improved his skills with help from Squalo, and defeats Genkishi with his dad's 8th form of the Shigure Soen Ryu, Pelting Rain, stating that the Shigure Soen Style was flawless, completely invincible, and second to none.
